Welcome aboard BlackbirdSST. You'll find that most of us aren't Bush haters but rather law-of-the-land and the Constitution boosters and supporters! We believe in being governed by the 'Rule of Law of the Land' and not the 'Rule of any single Man'. But bring your flame retardent suit when entering here.
Much to the shagrin of some of the more ardent bots around FR these days, I don't hate Bush either, just his Socialist ways, WOT/WOsD's rhetoric with open borders, and the like. I too, will "likely" hold my nose because of the weak opposition, but it WILL be the last time I do it for this RINO Party. I'm a divided gubermint leaning kind of guy these days. I'll tell myself, it's only in support of our men and women in Uniform, which is the only reason I voted for him the first round. Good day! Blackbird.
You do realize that if President Bush loses reelection social conservatives will also lose a measure of their power, likely forever. A Bush loss guarantees a Giuliani '08 nomination and win, and since the short-sighted, 'sit at home 4 Jesus', 'I'm so pure I wouldn't even vote 4 myself', perennial spoilsports once again threaten to destroy the party's election chances because they haven't gotten 110% of what they wanted, then the GOP will simply shift towards the middle on a few social issues. The result will be a econ conservative/social moderate to libertine alliance that will provide a solid and more stable majority, leaving social conservatives on the fringe with nowhere to go.
Be careful what you wish for.
